Lacoss said Harvard would be happy to offer a vegetarian food line. Yale just happened to have an unused line, she said, and real estate like that is hard to come by at Harvard. "When a master offers his House for a vegetarian dining room, we'll take it," she said...
...trucker with long white hair and a stringy gray-and-tobacco-brown mustache. When he emoted about his organic garden, he sounded like nothing so much as General Jack "purify our bodily essences" Ripper in Dr. Strangelove, he was that intense and dogmatic about it. But he was vegetarian, he meditated, and his eyes twinkled when he mentioned his "cash crop"--marijuana...
...vegetables, or when some vegetable and his wife defraud Harvard Law School, or, indeed, when a bunch of wilting females decide to revert to prehistory by forming a new finals club, you know the Revolution just isn't getting any closer. It's enough to make a vegetarian cringe.

Each form-the ribbed curves of the cardoon stalks, the fleshy convolutions of the hanging cabbage, the ragged lace of the lettuce-is rendered with breathtaking economy. The picture is a lesson in ideal vegetarian geometry, with the slice of lemon and the slender cones of carrots occupying space like Renaissance mathematical models. At the same time, the darkness (coupled with the close focus) gives the objects a painful density. The hanging lemon seems ready to explode. One will see few still-lifes like this until...
